Traditional gari production methods in Benin are labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to scale. This project explored the feasibility of a modern, semi-industrial approach to improve efficiency, product consistency, while ensuring positive social and environmental impacts.
The study combined fieldwork with theoretical analysis.
On-site visits and interviews were conducted to:
This approach provided a deep understanding of how transformation is organized, what are the production practices, how products are distributed, and the supply chain logistics.
The analytical component included:
